Favorite Book

Joshua loves to "read" his books. His favorite book right now is "My Big Truck Book". We read it at least twice a day. He is all into trucks and tractors these days - what boy isn't?

Again, I am amazed at how much Joshua knows; and I don't even realize that he knows it. For example - the days that I go to work, Ronnie gets Joshua dressed and takes him to school. Ronnie's routine each morning is to make us coffee, read his bible and play the mandolin awhile. One morning recently, I was getting ready for work, and Ronnie called me into the study. He told me that after Joshua finished his breakfast, he grabbed Ronnie by the hand and led him back to the study. Then Joshua pointed to his chair for him to sit down, handed him his glasses and pointed to his bible! Sometimes Joshua likes to sit in Ronnie's lap and hear him read the bible. Then, of course, he motioned to the mandolin hanging on the wall and wanted Ronnie to play it! How does he know every schedule in our house? It's difficult for me to remember all those things!






As I've said so many times before and I'm sure I will say many more times in the future - every day is a great day with Joshua. God has blessed us so much more than I could have ever imagined!

For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD. Psalm 117:2

Aww That is so sweet! It is amazing how they know schedules. Lillie does things like that too. Every night Jay lays down with her and says her prayers. She has a whole little routine we do every night. If I forget something she always reminds me!

Hope you are all doing well! We love y'all and hope to see you soon!
